A man who admitted shooting three black men in a racist attack in Algiers shortly after Hurricane Katrina died Feb. 19, less than a week after he was sentenced to spend 10 years in federal prison, officials said Wednesday.

Roland Bourgeois, 56, was in federal custody at the Plaquemines Parish jail when he was found unresponsive. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead after his relatives had a chance to see him, according to authorities.

The chief investigator for the Plaquemines Parish Coroner’s Office, Charles Guey, said there was no indication that Bourgeois died from anything other than natural causes.
